Flux (informatique)En informatique, un flux (en stream) est une suite infinie d'éléments gérés de façon temporelle. Un flux présente ainsi une analogie avec une bande transporteuse où les éléments sont traités séquentiellement, plutôt que globalement. Les flux ne sont pas traités comme les lots de données - en effet les fonctions usuelles n'y fonctionnent pas de façon globale - parce qu'ils sont des données potentiellement illimitées et non pas des données classiques (par définition finies).
Let expressionIn computer science, a "let" expression associates a function definition with a restricted scope. The "let" expression may also be defined in mathematics, where it associates a Boolean condition with a restricted scope. The "let" expression may be considered as a lambda abstraction applied to a value. Within mathematics, a let expression may also be considered as a conjunction of expressions, within an existential quantifier which restricts the scope of the variable.
Hygienic macroIn computer science, hygienic macros are macros whose expansion is guaranteed not to cause the accidental capture of identifiers. They are a feature of programming languages such as Scheme, Dylan, Rust, Nim, and Julia. The general problem of accidental capture was well known in the Lisp community before the introduction of hygienic macros. Macro writers would use language features that would generate unique identifiers (e.g., gensym) or use obfuscated identifiers to avoid the problem.
EuLispEuLisp is a statically and dynamically scoped Lisp dialect developed by a loose formation of industrial and academic Lisp users and developers from around Europe. The standardizers intended to create a new Lisp "less encumbered by the past" (compared to Common Lisp), and not so minimalist as Scheme. Another objective was to integrate the object-oriented programming paradigm well. It is a third-generation programming language. The language definition process first began in a meeting in 1985 in Paris and took several years.
Chicken (Scheme implementation)Chicken (stylized as CHICKEN) is a programming language, specifically a compiler and interpreter which implement a dialect of the programming language Scheme, and which compiles Scheme source code to standard C. It is mostly R5RS compliant and offers many extensions to the standard. The newer R7RS standard is supported through an extension library. Chicken is free and open-source software available under a BSD license. It is implemented mostly in Scheme, with some parts in C for performance or to make embedding into C programs easier.
Planner (programming language)Planner (often seen in publications as "PLANNER" although it is not an acronym) is a programming language designed by Carl Hewitt at MIT, and first published in 1969. First, subsets such as Micro-Planner and Pico-Planner were implemented, and then essentially the whole language was implemented as Popler by Julian Davies at the University of Edinburgh in the POP-2 programming language.
Delimited continuationIn programming languages, a delimited continuation, composable continuation or partial continuation, is a "slice" of a continuation frame that has been reified into a function. Unlike regular continuations, delimited continuations return a value, and thus may be reused and composed. Control delimiters, the basis of delimited continuations, were introduced by Matthias Felleisen in 1988 though early allusions to composable and delimited continuations can be found in Carolyn Talcott's Stanford 1984 dissertation, Felleisen et al.
ISWIMISWIM est un langage de programmation abstrait (ou plus précisément une famille de langages de programmation) conçu par Peter J. Landin et décrit dans un article célèbre intitulé Les 700 prochains langages de programmation et publié dans les Communications of the ACM en 1966. Son acronyme ISWIM signifie « If you See What I Mean » (« Si vous voyez ce que je veux dire »). ISWIM a fortement influencé la conception des langages de programmation qui l'ont suivi, en particulier dans le domaine de la programmation fonctionnelle, de à Haskell, en passant par ML et et leurs successeurs, et dans le domaine de la programmation dataflow comme et Lustre.
BiglooBigloo is a programming language, a dialect of the language Lisp, an implementation of the language Scheme. It is developed at the French IT research institute French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA). It is oriented toward providing tools for effective and diverse code generation that can match the performance of hand-written C or C++. The Bigloo system contains a Scheme compiler that can generate C code and Java virtual machine (JVM) or .NET Framework (.NET) bytecode.
Name resolution (programming languages)In programming languages, name resolution is the resolution of the tokens within program expressions to the intended program components. Expressions in computer programs reference variables, data types, functions, classes, objects, libraries, packages and other entities by name. In that context, name resolution refers to the association of those not-necessarily-unique names with the intended program entities. The algorithms that determine what those identifiers refer to in specific contexts are part of the language definition.
